Delicious!

We bought loads of Boaters flavoured instant coffees a while ago when a local shop have a massive selection for only a pound a jar. They are usually a lot more than this. I am going to review them all as they are a bit hit and miss.

There are over 40 flavours of Boaters available. Their website is www.boaters.co.uk and offer free postage and packing on orders over £40. I think it would make a good gift hamper for a coffee lover to select a load of different flavours as a present. They are currently £2.35 for 50 gram jars of the flavoured instant coffees.

I really like mint chocolate and although generally I do not like instant hot chocolate, I do occasionally by a Cadbury's Options in Mint, just for the minty taste. I could not resist trying this chocolate mint coffee from Bloaters. I was so excited when I made it up and could smell the really strong mint. The taste was not as strong as the smell but it was still delicious. I found that the orange flavour in Bloaters orange mocha is far stronger than the mint flavour in this drink. The level of chocolate is roughly the same. It is pretty chocolatey. The coffee is more of a subtle taste. It is not a bitter coffee and it works well with the chocolate and mint. There is just the right amount of each.

I would buy this to keep in the office in preference to Cadburys Options mint chocolate. I find it a much thicker drink. It is low in calories and so you do not have to worry about having too many. They are so good that there is no way I could limit myself to one a day if I know they are in the drawer!

I will definitely buy this again. I might even buy enough to get free P&P on the Boaters website. This is a delicious drink!
